Duoxo Calm for Dogs and Cats
What are DUOXO Calm products?
DUOXO Calm is a line of topical products which may help with skin allergies in dogs or cats. The product line includes a shampoo, mousse, gel, and micro-emulsion spray to tailor to your pet’s specific needs. All of the products contain phytosphingosine, which is a conditioning and antibacterial lipid (fat). It is naturally produced by the body, but these topical products deliver extra amounts of this lipid to the skin which may help restore the skin’s barrier function. The product line is listed below with the directions for use and any additional active ingredients they may contain. Contact your pet's veterinarian to see if DUOXO Calm products are right for your cat or dog.
